Danny Brown and Logic Discuss Eminem’s Legacy and Longevity

Two successful rappers talk about Eminem being around and having fun out of love for hip hop. Detroit own Danny Brown talked in rhyme since he began to speak. He remains one of the most unique and singular talents on the hip hop scene. Logic belongs to a different generation and is much more mainstream than Danny, but both have deep respect to Marshall and what he did for the culture. The topic was brought up in The Danny Brown Show Ep. 60 by a fan who praised early Eminem’s music and was rather dismissive of Em’s recent projects. Neither Danny Brown nor Logic shared this point of view. Danny Brown outright distanced himself from this conversation: I think Eminem is having a blast. That’s really what I think. And I think he’s got to keep going. Of course, he can quit tomorrow and his legacy will still stand. But he’s still out here like, “Fuck that! I’m gonna do what I want! I don’t give a fuck”. He sees that shit, I’m pretty sure he does. But he doesn’t give a fuck and he’s still going, he’s still busting bars. I appreciate that more than anything. People look at that shit like a young man game but let him rock. What if he was caught up on the moment of like, “Man, I gotta make shit for y’all fuckers to like”. But I think he’s making shit that he enjoys. He probably was doing that shit at one time of his career where he’s like “I gotta make a hit song, I gotta do this and this”. It’s Em, he’s got a legion followers. I actually had a pleasure of opening for him a few times. Me biggest show I eve played was Wembley stadium with Eminem, and it was was amazing. So I can’t ever say nothing bad about Eminem. And I got a lot of my style from him, to be honest, listening to that beginning shit. Danny then asked Logic about whether he gets many remarks comparing him to Em. A younger rapper feels that they are too different ro draw parallels from their music. But what is similar is people that bring his race into a conversation and put an artist in a box. Logic also dismisses the idea that Marshall breezed through with his first albums: First three Eminem’s albums were not instant classics. That motherfucker was shit on by everybody. Everybody was shitting on Eminem. “White boy! Who let the white boy in the house party?” I was where, I remember, I saw that, I grew up with it. He fought for his place in hip hop. And I think the music he makes nowgrown shit. He’s talking real shit. But he’s also having fun. He’s getting so much fun! He’s new shit gets billions of streams when he drops. If it wasn’t good people wouldn’t listen to it. And that’s people who enjoy it. You know we got a song together called “Homicide”. That’s the shit I love from Em, when he’s just doing his thing, just rapping a “mannequin”. Danny Brown disagrees on the ground of astronomical sales that “The Slim Shady LP” was showing: I’d say the second one, “Slim Shady”, that was an instant classic. That was his most commercial attempt. That was a lot of Dr.Dre. But my favorite Eminem is the fourth one, “Encore”. That’s the one I identify with the most because he was talking about Detroit. Detroit didn’t have a lot of rappers. Eminem’s pretty much our first big rapper. When he first came out we were supportive of it all day. Well, SSLP is not even Marshall’s best selling album, but for a battle rapper from Detroit the success of this album was very unexpected. And still, maintains Logic, it was not something that the audience was accustomed to: At the time it was so underground.
